s/l "platiso" muscle (tracheostomy) - CrabbyMT
Posted: Sep 15, 2012
A new dictator to me is dictating an tracheostomy. He says, "Incision was carried down through the subcutaneous tissue and s/l platiso muscle using the Bovie." I have googled neck muscles. Maybe I'm not seeing the correct muscle group, but if someone know what this is, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

So Much Less Crabby Now - Thanks to you, MT!!
[ In Reply To ..]Just when I think nothing can go right in my world a fellow MT comes to my rescue! Yay! (Could you come to my house and re-program the VCR??)
Spelling of term - TennesseeMT
[ In Reply To ..]My guess would be the platysma muscle.
Plastiso - Bobo
[ In Reply To ..]Platiso: it's probably platysma.
